Answer to Question 1

ANS:
2
Use the medication calculation formula to calculate the correct dose.
Formula:
Desired/available  volume = mg/dose
400 mg/200 mg  1 tab = 2 tabs

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
The signs and symptoms to watch for after a cesarean birth are feelings of pelvic fullness, frequency, urgency or burning on urination, and redness or edema of the abdominal incision. Mild incisional pain is expected and the lochia should change from a bright red (rubra) to a pinkish color (serosa).
